I changed the oil/filter on my car and the wifey's car as a precautionary. Wife's car oil had about another 1k miles left before it needed to be changed and the oil in the Z had only 250 miles on it, but is getting near the 6-month mark, so changed it out too. Also filled up on gas.

Wrong thread I think. Unless you think your cars got the virus too.

I meant I was being proactive. In case of emergency, I don't have to worry about going over on miles with the old oil.

And actually, I may need to give both of them a good scrubbing followed by waxing. May have traces of the coronavirus on the surface of the car from driving.

Ok here is one of the reasons why you cant buy TP and sanitizer.
How this people even sleep at night. I guess huge money robs you of your conscience.

“If I can make a slight profit, that’s fine,” he said. “But I’m not looking to be in a situation where I make the front page of the news for being that guy who hoarded 20,000 bottles of sanitizer that I’m selling for 20 times what they cost me.”

um....he IS "that guy"

Theres no way to be sure, but imagine how many people couldve used those bottles that he hoarded from the local stores that could now be infected?

Yeah greed robs you of your conscience. He even have pictures of his family with his baby and he was a former Air Force tactical Sergeant? Knowing he just committed price gouging.

And thats how he feed his son.

He deserves to be in jail my opinion.

In other country if you do such thing in time of crisis against the people is considered an act of treason and be put to highest penalty even death.

We are not some "other country," we are the United States of America. We are a nation of laws, not men, embodied by the Constitution.

Many of you here swore an oath to protect and defend that sacred document.

We must abide by our laws, especially in a time of crisis.

What that man did was ethically abhorrent, but he did not violate the law and he does not deserve to be imprisoned.

Things are getting pretty crazy, even here in S AR. I had to tear out some wall board in one of the bathrooms (the original contractor left out the insulation plus the outer sheathing had pulled loose from the stud in one corner, allowing air intrusion, took me a looonnnggg time to figure out where the cold air was coming from). Asked the gal that usually does my shopping to get me some wall board screws, joint tape, a piece of wall board, etc. She started at Walmart and sent me a pic of the TP aisle - not a single roll in sight. She then went to a national chain hardware store and was able to get most of the small stuff but the store was so crowded, she couldn't find anyone to cut the wall board.

Aside:
She bought spackle instead of joint compound. Bob Vila says one is not supposed to use spackle in place of joint compound unless you have to (something about spackle drying too fast). Is it really that big of a deal? I'm just doing a 3'x5' section (~1m x 1.5m for those who think in metric), not a whole room. She doesn't mind exchanging it but I'd hate to send her back into the melee if I don't have to.
Any other tips for someone who has never done any real wall board work? I've patched a bunch of holes but never used tape or replaced a section.

I do agree on you first 3 statements and I totally agree... but on the same token America and only America had encountered the most unthinkable problems that affects the whole nation because even the unruly people are protected by this laws and get away with it.

Whom should the law or the Constitution protect? The majority of Americans or the scams who instigates further suffering to most law abiding Americans and with this same law and rights they hide/cover to justify there action and further cause harm to the whole American people.

There is nothing wrong to make some profit but if a nation is down on its knees because of a crisis and such acts are committed is a different issue I believe.

I’ll stop here because this would be a never ending debate.

But as a citizen of United of States of America if your country is in CRISIS We swore that We would provide unselfish duty to protect and uphold the protection of our constituents/ countrymen even to the extent of sacrificing ones life.

I believe that was the same foundation the US constitution was built!

Yeah this man didn’t break the law in a time of Crisis?? Something is not right here.

Thanks. For the small job I'm doing, it looks like spackle should do fine (probably better than I'll be able to apply it). Just wanted to get some confirmation.
